What went down!
Our site is Top 200!
Our website, which has always been one of the top Nigerian websites for young people, has become one of the top 200 sites in the country! It’s just amazing! What’s even more impressive is that – it is one Nigerian website with more than 85% of the hits coming from within Nigeria; so tell us those people who said Nigerians in Nigeria are not passion interested in the future of this country? With amazing presence on Twitter and Facebook, this is without doubt the number one youth platform in the country – no other platform comes even close!
The ‘I Represent Naija Creed’!
Since we unveiled the ‘I represent Naija creed’; encapsulating some of the key values of the new Nigerian in simple terms, the public acceptance has been wonderful.
THE I REPRESENT NAIJA CREED:
* I will not steal government money!
* I will not collect a bribe!
* I will not cover up fraud!
* I am not corrupt!
* I love my country!
* I truly believe Nigeria can work!
* I will do my bit to make change happen!
* I will vote in election!
* I am the future!
* I represent Nigeria !
You can find it on the website and download it from the RedSTRAT profile as a screen saver or anything else, but even better, all of those at the conference and the awards get a physical copy free! You’ll love it!
Aspire Centre
In its 3rd year running, the Aspire Viewing Centre, an initiative prompted by our board member and vice president of the World Bank, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, is a project where we get students from secondary schools to come and witness the Awards at the venue but from a different viewing room. This year, the Aspire Centre is stepping up its game as we would be getting 3 schools from each local government in Lagos .
In addition to celebrities coming in from time to talk to the students, and then joining them on the red carpet, there will be the formation of the student’s house of assembly; where the students would have the opportunity of discussing the causes and possible solutions to the percentage of students’ failure in the 2009 WAEC examination. This way, The Future Awards continued to complement key areas of our society, especially education.
Judging draws to an end!
It is a week to the Awards and we are down to the final stage of judging where a list of the select 3 nominees per category having been decided upon by the Independent Audit Committee and by the board of judges deciding the winner. But of course, no one will know until Sunday, the 7th of February.
Unveiling the hosts and the headliner!
Yes!!!! The faces of those who would anchor this Year’s The Future Awards have been unveiled and they are multiple award winning artiste, Naeto C, who will be in the country just for awards, and Munachi Abi, rapper and former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria . The show is also headlined by … wait for it…. Asa!!!! The event is strictly by invitation and holds on Sunday, 7 February at the Muson Centre. The Keynote Speaker is still Managing Director of the World Bank, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. This will be BANGING!
Get your Green on (GUGO)!
If you thought the get your green on campaign ended with the Fashion show at the nominees reception, then you are wrong, the GUGO project is here to stay and this time, as we celebrate a rush of green at the Awards, those who get an invite to attend the event have an opportunity to have their clothes and accessories done at any of our style partners for a 20% discount.
